As a person with lived experience of the effects of psychological abuse on mental health, I bring this understanding to my Counselling, NDIS psychosocial support work and mental health Advocacy roles. I primarily support people to live well, while building skills and understanding of symptoms related to stress, anxiety, panic, depression, childhood trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD. I support survivor's of Narcissistic and Psychopathic relationship abuse to recover and aid people living with complex mental health, such as, Dissociative and Depressive Disorders, Anxiety, Bipolar and Schizophrenia, to achieve their wellbeing goals.
As a collaborative and eclectic practitioner, I match the appropriate therapeutic intervention, such as, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to the presenting issue. When supporting complex trauma, I work from a PART's approach, incorporating Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis.
Please don't struggle alone. I am here to help. To explore further, visit erinprater.com.au or call me for a free, short introductory chat. Together, we can learn how "to be here and not there".
